> How much are you willing to pay for it?

Wrong question. Correct question would be: "How much are you willing and able to pay for it?" (for me it much more strongly fails because of the second criterion).



If you're willing to pay more than you're able to, I think you need to reevaluate your approach to personal finance first.


Thanks, but I believe my approach to personal finance is quite right and responsible. This does not contradict the fact that there are things that I am willing to pay for, but not able to. Exactly because my approach to personal finance is responsible, I don't spend money in this situation.


I think we must understand the word "willing" differently.
